The 48-year-old’s dad, Robert Urban, passed away earlier this month after battling cancer.

Keith looked sombre and downcast as he made his way to the connecting flight.

The father-of-two was not accompanied by his wife Nicole Kidman. Keith will join his older brother Shane at their dad’s funeral today.

Keith makes his way back to his hometown to send off his beloved dad.

The Sunshine Coast Daily have reported it will be an intimate affair, “ just a gathering of people who knew and loved the larger-than-life Coast identity who recently lost his long battle with cancer.”

Keith broke the sad news he’d lost his beloved dad via a statement to US Weekly a week ago.

Keith was incredibly close to his father.

“I’ve been deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support that [Nicole Kidman] and I, and our family, have received since my dad’s passing on Saturday night,” he said.

“His long battle with cancer is now over and he is finally at peace.”

Our thoughts are with Keith and his loved ones during this difficult time.
